Active Ingredients: Amitraz 9.0%.

Amitraz spreads over your dog in the oil of its skin and haircoat where its activity starts within 24 hours to detach and kill existing ticks on your pet. Amitraz continues to prevent attachment and feeding and kills new ticks that may climb onto your pet for up to 90 days. The collar and its active ingredients are not affected by normal wetting such as rainfall, however it is suggested the collar be removed before bathing. This collar should be replaced when new ticks are seen to persist on your pet. For optimal efficacy for tick control and prevention you should replace the collar every 3 months.

Note: Before using in conjunction with any topical flea treatments including Bio Spot, or any prescription medications, please consult your veterinarian.

Directions: Place the collar around the dog's neck, adjust for proper fit and buckle in place. Cut off excess length and dispose. Do not allow dogs to play with cut-off pieces. The collar must be worn tightly to contact skin and so your dog cannot remove it.

Individual Sensitivities:
Some animals may be sensitive to ingredients in this product. Observe your pet following treatment. Sensitivities may occur after using ANY pesticide product on pets. Please read entire manufacturer’s insert prior to using product. As with any product, consult your veterinarian before using on medicated, debilitated, aged, pregnant or nursing animals.

Can I use the Preventic Collar with topical flea and tick products such as Bio Spot?

A.

Maybe. In some cases, you can use Bio Spot® Defense Spot On® along with the Preventic Collar. This is sometimes done especially in areas heavily infested with ticks. However, this may not be appropriate for all dogs, particularly those that are aged, pregnant, nursing or dogs with medical conditions. We recommend you always consult with your local veterinarian before combining flea and tick products. Please see our chart on Combining Flea and Tick Products.

Does it control fleas? Can I use a flea product with the Preventic Collar?

A.

The Preventic collar does not control fleas. Certain topical and oral flea medications such as Bio Spot® Defense Spot On® may be able to be used with the Preventic Collar (please see previous question). We do not recommend using a flea and tick collar with the Preventic Collar.

The effectiveness of this collar is not weakened with normal wetting. It is not recommended to bathe your dog with the collar on. You would simply need to remove it before you start to bathe and replace when finished.

Is this collar safe for my dog to wear and my kids to pet the dog while wearing it?

A.

The Preventic Collar is safe for your dog to wear, with the following precautions:

If your dog loses the Collar at sometime, you need to find it and properly dispose of it to make sure it is not accidentally ingested.

If your dog ingests part of it, consult your veterinarian.

It is safe for your kids to be around your dog with this collar on. The only thing that you need to be careful of is that they aren't having prolonged exposure to the collar like using the dogs neck as a pillow or holding onto the tick collar instead of the dogs regular collar. Should they inadvertently have prolonged exposure, they need to be sure to wash their hands thoroughly with soap and water.

The collar will prevent the ticks from attaching to your dog. You may occasionally find a tick on your dog, but the insecticide should kill it within 24 hours of biting your dog. Remember that a tick must be attached for 24-48 hours in order to transmit disease-causing organisms.

Great Product
I love this product. We live in the country surrounded by woods, so the ticks are more than plentiful. We use Revolution for our dogs heartworm and fleas, but it does not cover ticks very well. I put a new collar on my dogs starting in early Spring and change it between 2 and 3 months of use, depending on how bad the ticks are that particular year. I have used this product for many years.

No ticks with Preventic
We have two, retriever mixes (over 50lbs) that love to go hiking with us. We never find ticks on our dogs when we use Preventic collars. They are much more effective and reasonably priced than other tick collars we've used. Highly recommended for tick prevention.

works
I live about 20 yards from the edge of the woods here in PA. I have walked my 2 dogs in the woods for 7 years. with a combo of these collars and revolution NO fleas and only 1 tick (and it was dead) They are the best I have ever seen.

Yes, all of our dogs have regular collar for identification & tags and this fits under it. It must be snug for it to work correctly. Make sure you do not put it on too tight. We also use training collar when walking, have never had a problem with all the different collars and use of this product

Thank you for your question. You may use this collar along with your pet's regular collar. You will need to make sure that the Preventic Tick Collar is able to make skin contact, so it must be worn tightly.

When is it safe to remove the collar from a dog after it leaves a tick infested area and returns to an area (e.g., a city) that has no tick problem? For instance, 24 hours after leaving a tick infested area like hiking in the woods in upstate New York, the collar can be removed and stored in a plastic sealed bag for the remainder of its 90-day active life. I do not want to keep the collar on my very small toy poodle for longer than necessary.

Keep the preventic collar on at all times except bath time. Ticks (and fleas) live in cities and urban areas as well as in woody areas.My review is actually meant for the preventic 18" collar but 25" got put in my review. The ONLY difference between then is one is longer than the other.

Thank you for your question. There is not specific amount of time the manufacturer recommends that you leave this on. They did mention that in order for the collar to kill the tick it has to come in contact with the skin. When you leave the area there may be ticks in the dog's fur that have not gotten down to the skin. They recommend checking the dog for ticks or bushing the pet to remove any ticks that may still be on the dog. They also mentioned that the collar does take 24 to 36 hours for the collar to each it maximum effectiveness so it is best to put this on at least a day prior to the dog's exposure to ticks. cjm

My Pyrenees also have multi layered coats and this has been effective for tick control.I also use a top dressing for fleas.We are on a farm surrounded by woods and have some amount of ticks almost year round.I use the collars year round.

Answer:

None of my dogs (long and short fur) have ever had a negative reaction from wearing these but I'd recommend keeping an eye on your little ones when you first put them on. They make a smaller collar (18") that would be better for your small dogs. You'll still have to cut quite a bit of length off once it's secured on their necks.
